• Notes

  From an article about Marjorie's famous cheese at https://culturecheese mag.com/cheese-library/swaledale-ewe "...the original farmhouse version of Swaledale was well on its way to e xtinction. By 1980 the only producer left making traditional Swaledale w as Mr & Mrs Longstaff of Harkerside above Reeth in Swaledale. The recip e was shrouded in mystery and had been handed down Mrs Longstaff’s fami ly for generations. In the early 1980’s, Mr Longstaff died and Mrs Long staff decided to sell her smallholding, simultaneously retiring from ch eese making. Effectively Swaledale cheese became extinct. However, in N ovember 1986 Mrs Longstaff gave the original recipe to David & Mandy Re ed and, acting as chief taster, she helped them to re-establish an auth entic Swaledale cheese. The following year, David & Mandy set up The Sw aledale Cheese Company and since then business has grown year on year."
